Take a look at the turner highline with the shorter shock option for 7 inches of travel. The seat angle is about 74 degrees and the bottom bracket about 14 inches high. Maybe a bit out of your price range but a stellar all around ride for sure.
It can be tough finding a bike when you're on the taller side of things. Rotec's large frame might fit you nicely, it's huge. A large Sunday (24.5" effective top tube) with a setback post and maybe a 70-80mm stem might also work for you. I'm 6'3" and used to have that frame, ended up being a...
I've also had a surgery related to problems at L5-S1. I wonder if cycling places a particular stress at that point of the spine? After riding through my pain for years I finally came to the point where I couldn't feel my right leg at all and I could barely walk most days. I suppose the lesson...
Those I9's are the nicest set I've seen. If you have a theme you may as well go balls out on it I guess. I vote this bike the nicest build of the year, just on the sheer craziness of it. It looks like the bike someone with synaesthesia would ride. And by the way, its "eunuch", though I still...
I have a brand new FSA 48 spline 5.5" ti axle just sitting around that I bought for my deity's. It turned out to be too short for the chainline I needed. PM me if you're interested.
Maybe someone should start a thread to edu-macate the masses on top crowns. Obviously its not as bad here as, say, pinkbike but it seems like everyday I see a thread where someone wants to lower their front end with a flat crown. Flat crowns and drop crowns have the same stack height. On some...
Wow, sweet ride! I'd kill for that thing. I believe the 36.6 lbs., I've seen quite a few VPX's built up lighter than that and I think the socom and VPX are around the same frame weight. As for the guy saying it was "too high", what are you talking about? Where do you see any room to get the...
Definitely the best comedy on tv in awhile. I never understood the comments on inaccesibility though, they summararized every previous episode at the beginning and had numerous flashbacks within each episode?
The sic chase bars I'm running have at least 10" of room and I've cut a little bit off the ends. I imagine the race model is similar but with less sweep. The 13 degree backsweep on the chase's definitely takes some getting used to but if you angle them further forward then you would normal...
I've wondered this for awhile as well. In a perfect world every 31.8mm stem should come with a shim to run smaller bars. Who wouldn't kick in a couple extra bucks for that? Ah well, the elite's I'm running are damn nice as well. I only wish Thomson would make more parts, everything they make...
hahaha man this is a funny thread. :rofl: Just for fun, I asked my gf to comment on the picture and she deciphered what was wrong. Head to a shop before any damage is done and good luck with your ride, looks like a nice setup.
You could always check out the Turner Highline in an XL. I believe some are going to be produced if enough interest is received. There's a petition over on mtbr about it. Failing that, the large Iron Horse Sunday has a 24.5" tt. Combine that with a 80mm stem and I think that might work for...
looking good. I've always dug the on-one stuff. Well made, cheap, and Brant is a great guy to deal with. The bracing on the swingarm looks really solid as well. If it came in a longer top tube size I might be interested, 22.8" isn't near roomy enough for this lanky cat.:mumble:
I've been running an 05 nixon elite with tpc for a year and a half now. Having never tried a pike I can't compare the two but for me the Nixon has been a pretty decent fork. I did blow it up twice in the first couple months I had it but its been going strong since. Its a pretty good...
